Troops of the Joint Task Force Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) have rescued five women and two babies in Zamfara State, Northwest Nigeria, after spending two months in captivity.
This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau on Thursday by the Information Officer to the Operation, Suleiman Omale,
“Troops in a daring operation, successfully stormed Kuyambana forest in Zamfara State and succeeded in rescuing five women and two babies.
“They were kidnapped in January 2024 from Marange village in Kagara Local Government Area of Niger State.
“The victims, who endured months of captivity, were liberated following the relentless offensive operations carried out by the vigilant troops in the Kuyambana area.
“The successful rescue operation came as a result of the unwavering pressure exerted on the bandits by the troops, leading to the victims’ escape from the terrorists’ enclaves,” Mr Omale said
